[Verse 1]

On a long, lonesome highway east of Omaha

You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one-note song

You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

[Verse 2]

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin', the way they always do

When you're ridin' sixteen hours, there's nothin' there to do

You don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

[Chorus]

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go, playin' star again

There I go, turn the page

[Verse 3]

Well, you walk into a restaurant, all strung out from the road

Feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

[Verse 4]

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can

All the same old clichés, "Is that a woman or a man?"

And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand

[Chorus]

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go, playin' star again

There I go, turn the page

[Verse 5]

Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away

Every ounce of energy you try to give away

As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play

[Verse 6]

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed

With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head

Smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said

[Chorus]

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on stage

Here I go, playin' star again

There I go, turn the page

Here I am (Here I am), on the road again (On the road)

There I am (There I am), up on the stage (Up on the stage)

Here I go (Here I go), playin' star again (Playin' star again)

There I go, there I go
